A tangy, nutty tahini dressing brings together no-cook ingredients like canned chickpeas and roasted red peppers for these easy meal-prep lettuce wraps. Make these wraps ahead of time for a grab-and-go lunch or dinner.

Prep/Cook Time: 10 Minutes, Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ cup lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
  • 1½ teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 2 15-ounce cans no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed
  • ½ cup sliced jarred roasted red peppers, drained
  • ½ cup thinly sliced shallots
  • 12 large Bibb lettuce leaves
  • ¼ cup toasted almonds, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Whisk tahini, oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt and paprika in a large bowl. Add chickpeas, peppers and shallots. Toss to coat.
  2. Divide the mixture among lettuce leaves (about ⅓ cup each). Top with almonds and parsley. Wrap the lettuce leaves around the filling and serve.
